AIR-EAGLE®XLT
900MHz RF Receiver
MODEL 441-20800-DC
DESCRIPTION
The AIR-EAGLE XLTis an RF system designed for medium to long range
wireless remote control of electricalapparatus in avariety of industrial
applications. Systems can consist of any number of receivers and
handheld or contact input transmitters working together.This receiver is
equipped with 8 independent relays that are capable ofswitching 5 amps
@ 120VAC or 30VDC. The relays are user programmable for momentary
or toggle/latching operation and can be directly interfaced withthe
customer's equipment or P.L.C. Eight userselectable frequencies allow
multiple systems to be used inthe same area. TheAir-Eagle XLT can
receive remote signals transmittedfrom up to 2500 feet away (with a
handheld transmitter) or up to 2 miles away (with a stationary transmitter
and external antennas).
SERIES FEATURE
The “441” Series features repeating capability. Transmitters can be set
up to send “repeat signal packets”, and any transmitter or receiver
within its range will repeat the signal packet to help propagate
communication over widespread areas.
INSTALLATION
DISCONNECT DC Power from all equipment before installation.
1. Mount the AIR-EAGLE XLT RECEIVER in a convenient location.
2. Install relay wiring to terminal strip.
3. Install antenna onto antennaconnector located onthe right side on
